Start-ups have received a £140,000 boost from the Scottish Government.

The Social Entrepreneurs Fund offers the funding to individuals who want to start businesses that benefit their communities.

It distributes start-up grants to those who want to tackle some of Scotland's most pressing issues through business ideas.

Some of the start-up ideas include an amateur boxing club working with young people and ex-offenders in Glasgow, a health and nutrition advice service in Dundee, and a clean energy enterprise in Dingwall.
